Powerbook 1400 Problem update 2
Hi everyone, I managed to download iCab 2.9.8 and installed it on the Powerbook. I am on the network! Thanks again to everyone who offered suggestions and helped with this little project. Now, I need to learn to use iCab, but I'm on the network! Thanks, Roy -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Now, I need to learn to use iCab, but I'm on the network! iCab 2.9.8 is my own personal browser of choice, actually -- both on my Powerbooks and on my desktop Macs. I love it. It took me no time to get used to it, and I found I actually DON'T like Netscape (my prior chosen browser, which I used from 1996-2003) nearly as much anymore. These days I only use Netscape as a backup browser. ~Yersinia.

Re: Powerbook 1400 problem
Netscape still says it can't make a connection. Don't know if this bears on the problem or not, but Netscape 3.x.x seems to suffer from electronic Alzheimer's occasionally. The cure for it was to go to Mail and Newsgroup Preferences select Identity and click the box that says: Use Internet Config and then try to sign on. It always worked. After signing on a couple of times, the box can be unchecked and sign-on worked normally. Donn -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

In a message dated 1/29/06 10:52:37 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Okay, good news and bad news. I went into the hard drive, Apple Extras folder, and found Network Software Selector. There was TCP/IP. I selected it. I had to restart the computer. Then I opened the control panel, TCP/IP. Out of sight! Now we're cooking with grease! There were several choices, so I'll start at the top. First was Connect via:, I selected alternate ethernet. Second was Configure:, I selected using DHCP server. Third, it asks for IP address, Subnet mask, router address, and Name server address. But all of these have will be selected by server beside them. That is exactly what it is supposed to say. Now the bad news. Netscape still says it can't make a connection. However, I'm not disgusted yet because I'm trying to route this through my DSL modem at home and it probably won't work here. More bad news: The above setup of TCP/IP should work with DSL, Cable Modem... any network setup. In fact, if you re-open the TCP/IP panel, the address should be populated with numbers. If they start with 169 that means you do not have a connection with the network, however. After checking that you have a good connection via the ethernet cable from the DSL modem to your laptop (or if there is a router/switch in between), I would try another ethernet cable. I'm going to try it at work tomorrow on that network. That's where I really want it to work anyway. Any comments or suggestions about what to try? a few: 1) what version of Netscape are you using? Maybe it's too old to properly use over an ethernet connection (doubt it), or maybe it has not been configured correctly to use via DHCP? Maybe it is setup to use via a PPP dialup connection? 2) To get another internet app on your laptop, you could find a AOL cd-rom floating around somewhere. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Ivy F., AL Roll Tide!

Re: Powerbook 1400 problem
I just thought of something; earlier I think you mentioned that, either in MacTCP or TCP/IP, you had the choice of ethernet or alternate ethernet. Do you have an ethernet port in the rear of your 1400? If you do, it would be the last port on the left inside the rear port cover door. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Ivy F., AL Roll Tide!

Powerbook 1400 Problem Update
Okay, I tried the computer on the network at work today. I could actually see the homepage! Then the problems started. I got one Java error message after another, until I got the sad Mac and error 11--restart. Which I did three times. The fourth time, I got the sad mac and the computer locked up. I know the card is good, I know the computer is doing its job. I think Netscape is my problem now. I will wait until I can get the software for another browser such as iCab or something more Mac friendly. To the lister who wrote saying I should be able to get on the net at home through my DSL modem, you're probably right. However, the modem is configured, I think, either/or, not USB and ethernet. My PC is using the USB port to get on the internet, so I don't think it will recognize the ethernet port. I tried disconnecting the USB cable, but still no luck. Thanks to everyone who offered help, I really appreciate it. I hope I can return the favor some time. Roy -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Well, if your home PC has a cd burner, simply download the Mac version of a browser - like Internet Explorer 5 off Microsoft.com - and burn it on a cd. OS 7.5.5 should not have any problem reading a pc cd-rom, I don't think. Come to think of it, though, I am not sure what version of IE can work with OS 7.5.5. I use IE 5.1.7 on my 5300, but it requires OS 8.1. I know the rest of the list can help you with a modern browser for your OS, though.

Aha; did not know you were using the USB connection on your modem. I think they are either/or. And yes, you may have to reconfigure it to use it via Ethernet cable. Of course, a cheap router would allow you to use both simultaniously. Thanks to everyone who offered help, I really appreciate it. I hope I can return the favor some time.

The 1400 probably does not have enough RAM or CPU for Netscape 6. NS 4.75, 4.78, 4,79 are probably about it.

Re: Powerbook 1400 problem
Okay, you are probably right. But, I have to select PPP or ethernet, so I would think that would take PPP out of the mix. I could be wrong, as I say I'm new at this. I didn't see anything about DHCP, but that doesn't mean it's not there. Where would I look for this? When I first started with this, I didn't have the thing set for ethernet because I didn't know where to look. Then, I would get the message to check configPPP and make sure it's set right. But that file can't be opened. I don't know if it's a software issue or if the computer just won't let me get to it. But since I have the network control panel set to ethernet, I don't get this message anymore. I thought I was pretty good at this mac stuff, especially this older equipment, but I've about decided I'm in over my head. So as I said before, any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Powerbook 1400 problem
Okay, something new to add to the mix. The PC card is on the desktop. When I double click that, I get 5 options, one of which is PC card. This opens a box that has several settings. The correction and compression settings shows 6 radio buttons: off, MNP4, V.42, MNP5, V.42bis, and MNP10EC. I have off selected. Anyone recommend something else? It also has 2 choices below that: Maximum Throughput and Ring on Incoming call. I have maximum throughput selected. And then another choice to make. When serial port opens, Init settings or show status. I have show status selected. This also shows the software version as 2.5.7, which I think is the highest that will run on 7.5.3, but I could be wrong. Any thoughts? Thanks again for the help.

Re: Powerbook 1400 problem
Okay, I pulled up the MacTCP control panel. I have 3 choices at the top of the screen: EtherTalk (A), Ethernet built-in, and PPP. I have selected EtherTalk (A). At the bottom of this screen is an IP Address, currently showing 8.0.0.0, and then a more button below that. I'm not sure what the IP address should be set at, the network guru said that wasn't important for our network. Anyway, when I click on the more button, I get one screen with four sections. The first section is Obtain Address and 3 choices: Manually, Server, Dynamically. I have Dynamically selected. Below that is Node Range: From: and To:. I have From 1, To 126. The second box is Gateway Address:, currently set at 0.0.0.0. The third box is the busiest. I have Class:, currently A. I have Address:, currently 8.0.0.0. I have subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0. Then I have Net:, set at 8, Subnet: set at ), and Node: set at 0. There is also a slider currently set with 8 bits Net, 0 bits subnet, and 24bits Node. The fourth box is Domain Name Server Information, showing different addresses. The previous owner has Hiwaay.net, with IP address 208. 147.144.2. I have changed to a blank Domain with a blank address, which is probably not going to work at all, but something to try. I don't see anything about DHCP, so I'm assuming I don't have that option. thanks again for all the help, I really appreciate it.

Re: Powerbook 1400 problem
Okay, good news and bad news. I went into the hard drive, Apple Extras folder, and found Network Software Selector. There was TCP/IP. I selected it. I had to restart the computer. Then I opened the control panel, TCP/IP. There were several choices, so I'll start at the top. First was Connect via:, I selected alternate ethernet. Second was Configure:, I selected using DHCP server. Third, it asks for IP address, Subnet mask, router address, and Name server address. But all of these have will be selected by server beside them. Now the bad news. Netscape still says it can't make a connection. However, I'm not disgusted yet because I'm trying to route this through my DSL modem at home and it probably won't work here. I'm going to try it at work tomorrow on that network. That's where I really want it to work anyway. Any comments or suggestions about what to try? I really appreciate everyone pitching in to help the newbie. I will try to be as helpful to all of you in the future. This is the newest mac that I have, but I have an SE/30, several Powerbook 170's, and even an Apple IIe that I have actually managed fairly well with in the past. Thanks again for all the helpful suggestions, I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Thanks, I will keep this in mind. Wouldn't ethernet built in assume an ethernet modem installed inside the powerbook instead of an ethernet PC card? Showing my ignorance here, I know, but still have to ask.

No such thing as an Ethernet modem. It says built-in because MacTCP is too old to differentiate.
